4 Where Did DPI Come From? 1982 Dr. Lee Sutter formed Directed Energy, Inc. Invented the CO2 laser tube used in the DigiMark marking system now used in the DDC3 and “S” series systems evolved into the DPI line of Upgraded Replacement Laser Tubes for Domino Legacy Products, the DPI line of O.E.M. Laser Tubes and next the DPI LDR – Laser Digital Raster Marking Unit Lee Sold Directed Energy, Inc. to Domino August 1994 forming Domino Lasers, Inc. Rob brought on board as the Commercial Director. The DigiMark evolved into the DDC1 and was launched by DLI in 1994 at Pack Expo, the DDC2 in 1996 and the DDC3 in 1998 Now DPI introduces the LDR in 2014

28 Introducing the DPI Laser Marking UnitLDR Series Totally Digital Laser Marking
29 The LDR Name Laser Digital Resolution marking systemLee Dale Rob laser marking system LDR. Leader laser marking system The point is this is a simple laser marking unit that will lead the laser marking market to digital simplicity, marking speeds, quality and reliability
30 The LDR Concept NO moving parts (galvanometers, fans, motors)NLQ (near letter quality) now LDR (laser digital resolution) Highest possible line speed with multiple wavelengths for best material interaction Easy to Maintain, Long Life, Low Cost, Renewable IP 65, with Multiple Cooling Options Flexible easy installation by user, point and shoot installation and operation
31 LDR Size Goal to be the same size and shape as the average scribing laser head Control cabinet: None required Power Supply and Control Electronics on a Cord like your laptop
32 LDR Marking Speed Always material dependent of courseKeeping up with evolving technologies in blow molding, labeling and cartoning Three laser wavelengths offered but most applications will fit into BLACK 10.6µ, or BLUE 9.3µ with RED 10.3µ available. There can be No faster character generation from a laser marking unit than our digital design
33 LDR Laser Tube the BLADENewly designed laser assembly is built for simple user replacement. The laser assembly is a complete laser tube and power supply package. The ceramic based laser resonator with newly designed power supply board is a complete laser module. Lose a dot, snap out laser module, snap in a new laser module.
34 LDR Any Cooling Heat and dust are the killers of laser marking units. IP65 units are the most reliable Cooling is any way you want it or need it. Closed loop cooling with water is highly efficient, cheap and allows for IP65 Design. Use the same connections as closed loop water for compressed air. Low duty cycles can use ambient air fan cooling but sacrifices IP65 cabinet.
35 LDR Programming How do you control a unit with no controller?Computers, PLC, Mainframe no problem Stand alone units, we have an app for Android or Microsoft, tablet or smart phone. All electronics and control software developed by the noted micro-control developer Michael J. Karas of Carousel Design Solutions in Beaverton, Oregon.
36 LDR Laser Tube All of the improvements designed into the DPI CO2 laser tubes for Domino System Upgrades and the DPI line of O.E.M. laser tubes are packed into the BLADE or LDR Laser Assembly.
37 LDR Marking ConfigurationsFrom the basic 5 dot unit one line of print, air cooled unit, to the 9 dot two lines of print, water cooled unit, the same laser tubes are arranged, fitting in the same footprint.
38 LDR Marking ConfigurationsLDR-5,7,9 X X X (5,7 or 9)laser tubes LDR-X 1,2 X X (1 or 2 lines of print) LDR-X X 1,2,3 X (ambient air, compressed air or closed loop water cooling) LDR-X X X 1,2,3 (BLACK, RED or BLUE tubes) LDR-5111 = 5 laser tubes, one line of print, ambient air cooling, BLACK laser tubes. LDR-9233 = 9 laser tubes, two lines of print, water cooling, BLUE laser tubes
39 LDR NLQ Marking Remember the 9-pin printers of the old days that offered Near Letter Quality printing? The LDR uses this concept. Dot matrix optically smoothed together for NLQ laser marking. Marking with pulse rise of 28 microseconds, all DPI laser tubes are now what used to be known as LEEP tubes. Pulse widths of 80 to 300 microseconds 20+ watts of power in each dot, not 30W in a single translated dot like a scriber
40 From Basic Dots, Fine Characters Emerge
41 LDR Advantages Galvo based laser marking units have reached their speed limit. Digital Laser Marking is the revolution forward, to simplicity. Ideal for the Food and Packaging Market, Blow-molding, labeling and cartoning machine integration. Nothing Faster Nothing Simpler Nothing More Affordable No Lower Cost of Ownership (ink or laser)
